As well as personal and business bank accounts, we offer joint accounts, accounts for 16-17 year olds, a free kids account and credit cards in the UK, with more exciting things to come beyond. Our UK customers can also save, invest and combine their pensions with us.

You’ll help build the product strategy, value propositions, payments capabilities, user experiences, and support structure needed to help businesses get paid and their customers to have a delightful card payments experience. It’s a new product that we’re planning to launch, so you’ll be driving it from nothing to launch and then growing it.

• Communicating effectively: Inspire stakeholders with the product vision and share the right context with the right people at the right time.
• Launch, iterate, and grow: Throughout your work you break big projects into small, iterative deliverables and define, deliver and measure the impact of the product with a data and customer centric approach.

You should apply if:

• You are a seasoned product manager, and have experience shipping world-class products from 0 to launch at a fast growing company.
